This is a pretty tough one. What car was similar to what Bob Lutz sketched on a napkin at an expensive restaurant/ Clue:It was his dream car. What company did he work for at this time and why did he give it away to a reporter?

Chrysler Atlantic. Lutz was working for Chrysler Corp.

He was working for the Chrysler group. The vehicle had no brand at first even though he designed it for them. It wasn't Chrysler. You need a different car and why it didnt become a Chrysler.

Cunningham C7?

No. Clue: The vehicle was a GM. Forget about why it didnt become a Chrysler. It was rejected and he gave away the drawing to a journalist but he did use a very similar design in producing a GM vehicle when he came over to GM. Concept or Production, I will not tell?

Thats not it. It is a concept.

I was going to say Solstice... or perhaps Viper.

It was not a Chrysler but it was intended to be.

solstice concept design wasnt under lutz's oversight...

a MASTERPIECE it is indeed.

CSpec is right, it was the Sixteen. It was drawn on a napkin and Chrysler left the idea. So he gave the drawing away and later at GM. He used a similar design for the Sixteen. It is all in the book, The End Of Detroit. I read it, it was good. It said that in the book i am not sure what chapter but it did.
